Malvasia Fina has smokey and waxy charm which comes through on the nose in this wine. Bical is quite fruity and can get tropical if not picked early. Gouveio, more widely planted in the Alentejo region, gives a nuance of anise and white flower. Our elegant cuvée is made using only ambient yeast and is hand-harvested. The result is a wine of great aromatic intensity with notes of pear, pineapple and citrus fruit, alongside floral tones and hints of minerality. On the palate, it is very fresh, fruity notes again well to the fore – harmonious and balanced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuinta do Covão has belonged to the Gomes Ferreira family since the seventies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocated in Sandomil, Seia, near the Serra da Estrela mountain, Quinta do Covão estate is a privileged area to produce high-quality grapes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a total of 50 ha, respecting the methods of integrated production, taking all care to the environment, following the traditions and culture of the vine and knowledge in Portugal.
